The imperceptible ceremony is for unity with the universe’s ruler and for coming into close contact with the eight hundred myriads of deities. What one may attain through practising this is that which is largest with nothing outside of it, which is smallest with nothing inside of it, which is not near or far, not big or small, not wide or narrow, not bright or dark. Whether past, present or future, there will not be one thing one cannot grasp. Precisely this is the mysterious way of the deities.
